Alienware Launches AW410K Gaming Keyboard
Alienware today announced the AW410K Gaming Keyboard, an RGB-capable mechanical keyboard sporting either Cherry MX Red or Cherry MX Brown switches. The AW410K features a SB passthrough port so that you don't lose the USB port that the keyboard populates on your PC. The keyboard is a full-size type (which means it has a dedicated number pad) with integrated Macros in the function keys for multimedia capabilities.
The keyboard features two levels of adjustment via the two feet on top of it, a braided cable and a metal top plate for that added premium feel. Other interesting and all-important technologies in the gaming space are also present, such as anti-ghosting, macro programming and on-board memory that allows for the storage of user-defined macros. The Alienware AW410K Gaming Keyboard will launch August 4th and will cost $129.

I've had both for about 2 years.
The 768 is one of the best full sized keyboards I've ever used, but...
#1 Why are the symbols below the numbers (even in the new 410k?)
#2 They got rid of the Macros keys - which is OK since I never used them
#3 The 410k doesn't have my volume dial or the RGB on/off button
To be perfectly honest, I am disappointed Alienware isn't packaging gaming keyboards/mice in their Aurora models and I'm not a fan of this generation's design as much as I was the "triad" designs of the previous generation. Feels like they are trying to be more like Apple.
Finally about the KB, it uses UWP trash software called AWCC which is also mandatory for that Area 51M garbage, also no volume control, no macro keys, cheap build of plastic crap. Just go to NBR forum and see how garbage their machines are. This brand, I repeat Alienware is dead. Since 2014 Dell went private and they consumed Alienware from inside out, it's just a name now.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.
